Back by Popular Demand: One22 Presents The Community Interpreter® International Training Program

October 10-17, 2018

One22 is pleased to announce the return of The Community Interpreter training. This professional development opportunity addresses the growing need for interpreters who are skilled in the ethics of the profession as well as bilingual ability.

Businesses, government agencies, educational and social service providers, as well as concerned citizens are invited to participate in The Community Interpreter ® , the only national certificate program for community interpreting in the United States.

The 40-hour course requires mandatory language assessments prior to the start date, and the course sessions will run from October 10th through October 15th with an optional medical terminology session on October 16th and an introduction to simultaneous interpretation on October 17th.

Community interpreting is a growing profession that targets health care, education, human and social services. The use of qualified interpreters is promoted and endorsed by federal legislation, hospital accreditation agencies and many state and municipal laws.

The Community Interpreter is taught by Giovanna Carriero-Contreras, who has dedicated her life to the interpreting profession. She is the Founder & CEO of Cesco Linguistic Services. She chairs the U.S. national delegation for interpreting and translation at the International Standardization Organization and authored the latest edition of the International Interpreter ® textbook.

In response to many inquiries from local businesses about the increased and unpredictable presence of Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, One22 will host an educational forum designed to review employers’ rights and responsibilities related to employment eligibility documentation of their workforce. The event will be held on Wednesday, May 16th, at 9:00am at St. John’s Episcopal Church.

Paula Fleck, a partner at the law firm of Holland & Hart LLP who practices labor and employment law, will deliver a presentation at 9:00 am, followed by an open question and answer session and networking opportunities.

“As the season picks up speed, we anticipate this summer’s labor market will be extremely tight with employers doing everything they can to recruit, hire, train and retain their staff so that 2018 is characterized by the high level of customer service and expertise that Jackson Hole is famous for,” said Sharel Lund Love, Executive Director of One22. The growing presence of ICE in our community has many employers on edge about how they can protect their staff, their business, and their customers, Love said.

“Every day we at One22 are fielding calls from employers with the same question: ‘what can we do?’” said One22 Program Director Carey Stanley. “This forum is designed to inform businesses of their rights and obligations, and associated risks of noncompliance.” With a clear understanding of the rules, she said, employers can make informed choices about the best ways to face this changing environment.

“Our hope is to come together as a community to support our neighbors and help keep each other informed,” said Stanley.
